***DISCLAIMER***: _These notes are from the defunct k8 project which_
_precedes SquirrelJME. The notes for SquirrelJME start on 2016/02/26!_
_The k8 project was effectively a Java SE 8 operating system and as such_
_all of the notes are in the context of that scope. That project is no_
_longer my goal as SquirrelJME is the spiritual successor to it._

I did a bunch of thinking yesterday, but I also was resetting up my network to
be a bit more efficient, so I did not code much. I still have to set it up.

I should work on this rather than watch Star Trek all morning.

Figured out how I can do the pipeline stuff, basically it can be done
automatically to an extent. I will have to have it be capable of multiple
architectures though for example. Anyway, each plugin can specify inputs and
outputs which are supported. Then a builder can construct a path to get to the
end result, either compiling or decompiling things to get to said points. In
the future to make sure code is compiled correctly for the JVM, I can always
use class files as the intermediary format. Then take any class inputs to
create binaries and such.

I still think with all this pipeline stuff that the compiler rule setting is
far more complex than it needs to be. Perhaps the compiler should just be a
compiler and offer code translation rather than setting up rules for all of
that. In the end, the front ends would be using such rules anyway.

## 08:33

The class output plugin should not take intermediate language and instead
should take Java byte code, this way it can be separate from an architectural
translation matrix of sorts.
